Intranet

An intranet is a network used internally in an organization to facilitate communication and access to information that is sometimes access-restricted. An intranet typically is based on the same TCP/IP, client and server, and web technologies that are used for the Internet. An Intranet may be only on a Local Area Netowrk (LAN), or it may connect a few corporate sites through a Wide Area Network, or the Internet.
